(Hoonho) Acting Before we actually have the seminar we are going to have a little bit of acting. While Hoonho, Andrew, or Hyunwoo are reading some volunteers are going to act out what is happening in the scene. Therefore, it will be very nice for you guys to bring some clothes that could represent you as that character. The scenes that we are going to be listed below
1. When Dr. Seward is observing Reinald's actions
2. When Dracula murders everyone in the Demeter
3. When Dracula bites Lucy's neck
(Hoonho) Seminar For this class, we will be having a seminar, which requires for people to take their roles. The list below tells us the roles that you guys must take. You guys are going to study the person and you are going to discuss in the character's point of view on each question. I would recommend for you guys to dress up as the character that you are in or at least tell us what you are suppose to wear.
Note: Your contributions need to be based on evidence from the text. Your 'evidence of preparation' does not need to exceed a half page of notes and page numbers to use during the discussion. (Mr. Stephens)
